I saw this earlier…
I hope Google suggested it because it knows I live in Charente-Maritime and not because it thinks I’m guilty of driving whilst using my phone 
Here’s hoping it makes people stop doing it, as hardly a day goes by without me seeing someone texting whilst driving.
Long overdue.
I agree. My son in law got knocked off his motorbike a few years back in the US, going to work by a woman on a phone who did not even know she had hit him but the overhead gantry camera caught it all and she was caught. You cannot fiddle with phones and drive, concentration is not splitable. Still see lots of younger women doing whilst driving here, you would think they would know better by now.
And then motor manufacturers put bloody great touch screens in cars and took away the switches and buttons 
Fair point. I find the touch screen in my car quite distracting sometimes. I also had to turn off Waze because the flashing symbols were offputting to me.
Things like adjusting the heating/cooling and having to go through menus on the screen to find something that previously you could reach for a button.
Exactly that. Luckily I still have dials and buttons for the temperature. Changing the radio station is very clunky.
I don’t think I ever change the temperature in my car. It’s set at 21.5⁰ and Auto, so it takes care of it. It has a button for demist and that’s probably the only button I use.
Are you saying I am wrong about motor manufacturers? I love that your mind works totally different to mine 
Who are you replying to, Corona?
John, he nearly always takes a different view, nothing nasty just an observation.
I just say it as I find it. To be honest, my car is quite easy for temp as it has a dedicated zone on the screen for the AC and it’s easy to reach but I very rarely, if ever, change it. It wasn’t meant as a challenge more stream of consciousness really.
I do actually agree with you that it’s poor ergonomics to put everything on the screen and remove all the switches. Typically, I can find physical switches by touch, which is impossible on a screen.
I understand that some people talk to their cars to change temperature but that feels a step too far.
Which should only function as Sat Nav and Music controls whilst the vehicle is in motion.
The voice system on my Porsche Panamera is useless. A typical interaction would be:
Me: “Play BBC Radio 3 on D.A.B.”
The car: “Which street in Barnsley do you wish to go to? “
Wilson
Clearly your Porsche is faulty. Nobody needs to go to Barnsley. 
I agree about the daftness of “touch screen for everything” in modern cars.
One of the reasons why i am considering a Renault 5 electric for my next car is that it does have physical buttons for a good number of basic functions.
Well I have none of these modern gadgets save for a CD player/radio and automatic stop/start for the engine when I press to use it. Being a dinosaur I like using maps and sign posts to find my way around as it keeps the senses sharp and don’t want or need the distraction of having any sort of screen to do anything so I get to see where I am going and what I am passing. The drivers down here are not to be trusted and still think they can drive straight onto roundabouts and don’t get me started about not slowing down at junctions either so I need my eyes and ears open all the time. I have had the fast sports cars, SUV’s etc in the past but as you age, you begin to realise how dangerous driving really is and what a lot of palaver and inconvenience insurance claims are.
I think driving around Narbonne has improved a bit in recent years but I think at least some of it is down to speed cameras. Certainly they slowed everyone down when they were installed on the Narbonne to Gruissan road.
Diverging a bit, the last time I saw the surgeon who fixed my arm, I asked what needed to happen for me to be able to drive. He had tested the strength in my arm so he asked if I felt able to drive. I showed how I could reach the height of the wheel and operate the indicator levers and said my car is automatic. He remarked that plenty of people here don’t bother with indicators anyway. 
He’s not wrong.
I think Speed Cameras can help but, of course, so many get vandalised, which not only costs money to replace them but, more importantly, can cost lives as well.
That did happen at the beginning; One of them was shot at and then torched, but the newer cameras have been OK for a while now.
Your problem is you purchased a Porsche that isn’t a 911 variant.
